Hello, I have new site running for 30 days, it is a good content based site. I get 50(I think) unique visitors/day.
It isnt much,(no Seo made whatsoever) but my stats:
65 page imppresions,CTR 11% ,$5 , 7 clicks .

Considerating(spelling?) niche keyword cost,should I Tweak it or Leave it?

I think it is too early to say.. But your figures are good as far as I can see. Wait for smart pricing to kick in and then the tweaking can start!

Let us see what the Senior members have to say.

I don't think your cost per click will remain that high. My cost per click was really high when I first started my site just over 3 months ago. Now the cost per click is a lot more normal.

It is strange, because smart pricing is working in to my way. As I can say for that 30 days, it may be coincidence, but every single day the average click earning is getting bigger and bigger.

Smart pricing can ofcourse work to your advantage. But I think it will take a few months to determine if conversions are good on your site and then put better paying ads on your site.

Normally we always discuss smart pricing in a negative way. But I am sure it can be positive also in order to reward better websites.

I would suggest not messing with the site itself right now and concentrating on getting more traffic instead.

Here's why.

The numbers you posted look good, but CTR etc, can change dramatically as your visitor count goes up, even though the content doesn't change. That doesn't always happen, but often it does.

So if your CTR, EPC, eCPM etc, remain stable as your traffic increases, you've done well. You know, "don't fix what isn't broken".

If your numbers drop much as traffic increases that might be the time to start messing around with stuff other than traffic.
